Abstract

An information generation apparatus includes a specification unit that specifies a plurality of points in time of a sequence of motions of a person; and a generation unit that generates information relating to a rhythm of the sequence of motions, based on the plurality of points in time specified.

1 . An information generation apparatus comprising:
 a specification unit that specifies a plurality of points in time of a sequence of motions of a person; and   a generation unit that generates information relating to a rhythm of the sequence of motions, based on the plurality of points in time specified.   
     
     
         2 . The information generation apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a replay unit that synchronizes, with the information relating to the rhythm generated, and plays a plurality of images in which the sequence of motions of the person is captured.   
     
     
         3 . The information generation apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the generation unit generates information for evaluating the sequence of motions as information relating to the rhythm of the sequence of motions,   the information generation apparatus further comprising: a display control unit that displays the information generated by the generation unit on a display unit.   
     
     
         4 . The information generation apparatus according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the specification unit specifies the plurality of points in time,   the information generation apparatus further comprising:   a storage unit that stores a plurality of information for evaluating the sequence of motions;   an analysis unit that analyzes the rhythm of the sequence of motions based on the plurality of points in time specified; and   a selection unit that selects a specific piece of evaluation information from a plurality of pieces of evaluation information stored in the storage unit based on an analysis result by the analysis unit,   wherein the generation unit generates information for evaluating the sequence of motions based on the specific information selected.   
     
     
         5 . The information generation apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of images in which the sequence of motions of the person is captured,   wherein the specification unit specifies a point in time of the sequence of motions in the plurality of images acquired.   
     
     
         6 . An information generation method executed by an information generation apparatus, comprising:
 a specification step of specifying a plurality of points in time of a sequence of motions of a person; and   a generation step of generating information relating to a rhythm of the sequence of motions, based on the plurality of points in time specified.   
     
     
         7 . A storage medium encoded with a computer-readable program that enables a computer to execute functions as:
